some of the ones i have taken were really very bad looking, so bad that it killed the passion to do. On the other hand some were beautiful, pink like a rose and created a terrific view, a view that spoils the most of young india.
however i beleive this cream is indeed ridiculous.
fairness careams are totally unfair in a country filled with people of brown and dark colored skin. it's an insult and its nothing short of racist. I wonder why the supreme court hs not taken a suo moto cognizance of the matter to ban the whole bunch of corporates trying to fleece ordinary people

although i would normally hate ban ban culture, this is one field where the advertizers have taken it too far. a threat of a ban will make these fleecing leeches shy away

There is plenty of racism in India. Travel by Jet or Kingfisher. You will not find a single dark skinned girl as cabin crew

Point Well taken,Davis. You have made a correct observation. We Indians have a wrong obsession for fair skin.

True. But there has to be ethics in what one is promoting. The illegal fairness cream advertisements (I am sure, a proper interpretation of advertisement and legal norms will indicate that most of the fairness cream ads are illegal) promote a blatant discrimination in the society. No dark kid ever gets to play the role of Bharat Mata in school plays..! Why, they arent even chosen for most programs. The most talented NCC cadets do not get selected for republic day parades (not fictional, real). And in a recent ad the tennis coach says a girl cant be sent for the tennis tournament as she is dark...its height! These portrayals are more harmful to the society than sexually explicit ads.. but the former never attracts as much protest as the later. But then when did Indians ever react sensibly?
